My parents did a month-long tour of some of the European countries, and took me along. It was a lot of touring.

I am Canadian and I respect everything about Canada .I consider myself very lucky to have reached the age where I know I will be looked after ..I have visited a few places in the USA and it was ok I didn't get to see a lot because my guy was trucking across the border so we were on the move a lot.The most amazing thing is when I was there during the filming of the movie jaws..was lucky enough to be on the dock when the mechanical sark Bruce was brought in for an over haul to fix some thing..That was the most awesome sight.

The first foreign country I had gone to was Canada when I was 9 years old. (That was back in 1989.) I actually mentioned this earlier in a poll called "One Thing You Love About Canada". I was with my maternal grandmother to visit my uncle and aunt on my mother side in Scarborough, a former suburban city next to Toronto, Ontario province, which is now a suburban district in Toronto. (It was amalgamated into Toronto on New Year's Day of 1998.) I went there partly as tourist and also partly to get an immigration visa to the United States, which is where I'm currently living right now. (I was originally from a city that was once a British dependent territory and is now a special administrative region of motherf***ing Communist mainland China. I had to go to Canada first so my relatives can arrange us to go to Washington, DC, to get the immigration visa. It was a long journey, but absolutely worth it, since I really want to escape from those Chinese Communist bastards who would take over my birthplace.)

Aside from Toronto, we both went to Niagara Falls (on the Canadian side), which was literally spectacular. It was so huge, and yet it gave off the mist that resembles myself being in a dream, and that really stays into my mind for life, even though I have never gone to Canada for 29 years.

After my first visit to Canada (and my first visit to a foreign country), I do have positive impression on Canada, and if I have the opportunity to go to foreign countries for natural scenery, I will consider going to Canada again before I die.
